Welcome!
Hi there, welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for joining the tropical cyclone WikiProject. I'm excited that you are from India - we don't have too many editors from there. I wondered if you had any thoughts on Tropical cyclones in India - I think the list should be redone so it lists the storms by year (as opposed to by state), as some storms can affect multiple states. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 15:59, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, I will try my best. Also i am uploading some files to commons and using them to add stuff to NIO cyclone seasonsSovietCyclone (talk) 16:09, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * What files are you uploading? Are you sure you're allowed to upload them? Only certain files can be uploaded to Wikipedia - see Images, which discusses what you're allowed to upload, such as satellite images from American satellites. Other images, such as ones you find online from a search engine, aren't likely to be allowed. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 16:16, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Yeah they are obtained from NASA and NOAA website. My contribs-https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/SovietCyclone SovietCyclone (talk) 17:27, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Awesome! I just wanted to make sure. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 18:44, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Regarding list for Tropical cyclones in India, check out other similar lists, like List of Florida hurricanes (2000-present), which I've been working on lately. There doesn't need to be tables for every storm. Ideally it'll be a one to two sentence summary. For the 2001 storm, it should read like: May 29 - a cyclonic storm struck Gujarat, days after weakening from its peak as an extremely severe cyclonic storm. It killed between 120–900 fishermen offshore. Along the coast, the storm produced high waves that destroyed 200 homes. Hope that makes sense :) ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 03:08, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

@hurricanehink yeah I also think that 2001 cyclone stuff should be reduced to 1 or 2 sentences
 * Good job with adding the source! One last thing. You can link articles like this: A cyclonic storm hit India. I linked to the article for the 2001 storm by putting the article title in brackets like this . ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 03:39, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks SovietCyclone (talk) 05:07, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Some bubble tea for you!
Is it a coincidence that Tea is my favorite evening snack? Anyway Thanks!--SovietCyclone (talk) 13:25, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello SovietCyclone! Your additions to Tropical cyclones in India have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted.  All other images must be made available under a free and open license that allows commercial and derivative reuse to be used on Wikipedia.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Translation. See also Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 13:55, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

WikiProject Weather: Map Dot & Template/Infobox Colors
Dear project member, This message is being sent out to encourage new ideas and feedback on those proposed in regard to the colors debate for WikiProject Weather. For those who are unaware of what's been happening over the last year, I will give a brief summary. We have been discussing proposed changes to the colors of the dots on tropical cyclone maps and templates and infoboxes across the entire weather project in order to solve issues related to the limited contrast between colors for both normal vision as well as the various types of color blindness (MOS:ACCESS). We had partially implemented a proposal earlier this year, however, it was objected to by a number of people and additional issues were presented that made it evident this wasn't the optimal solution. We tried to come up with other solutions to address the issues related to color contrast, however, none of them gained traction and no consensus was generated.

We need your help and I encourage you to propose your own scale and give feedback on those already listed. Keep in mind that we are NOT making a decision on any individual proposal at this time. We are simply allowing people to make proposals and cultivate them given feedback from other project members. Please visit our project page for additional details. The proposal phase will close no later than December 31st at 23:59 UTC. Noah Talk 03:42, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
